Remember Len Bias 2nd pick of the 1986 NBA draft by Boston Celtics? 2 days later died from cardiac arrhythmia.

I thought he tried Cocaine while celebrating his signing by the Celtics.

Out of Maryland and Lefty Dreisell's program, right?

To me it seemed like certain of his team-mates didn’t play 100% when he was on the mound. Kind of wondered what the story was with that.

And now this.

..and Nick Adenhart, but he was only 22.

What about Luis Valbuena, just last December? Technically, he was a free agent but his last team was the Angels. Then there are names like Donnie Moore, Lyman Bostock, Mike Miley, Chico Ruiz...

Skaggs and Kile were both starting pitchers, who died of natural causes. They also shared a team mate. Kile in 2002 played with a young star for the Cardinals, Albert Pujols. Now certain future Hall of Famer Pujols was playing with Skaggs in Anaheim.

Don't recall if it was smoking crack or doing lines of powder. Either way:
